Your support makes all the difference.Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that, as the author of four cookbooks, she does indeed cook.
It might sound like an obvious revelation, but it’s one that a fan recently questioned during an Instagram Live Q and A at the weekend with the Goop founder, much to Paltrow’s irritation.
The Avengers: Endgame actor was asked by one viewer: “Do you actually cook?”
Paltrow, whose most recent cookbook, The Clean Plate: Eat, Reset, Heal, was published in January, replied: "Do I actually cook?
“Yes, I f***ing cook. God dammit, you think I would pretend to write cookbooks if I didn’t cook?”
Paltrow later thanked her more loyal followers for sending messages of support after the fan expressed doubts over her cooking abilities, adding: “F*** that person”.
But Paltrow will soon presumably start to share the cooking responsibilities in her home, as the 47-year-old is moving in with her husband of one year, Brad Falchuk in a few weeks.
“Married life has been really good,” Paltrow told InStyle of her relationship with the Glee co-creator.
“We took a year to let everybody [in the family] take it in and let the dust settle. And now we’re moving in together this month.”
Paltrow went on to say that she “adores” her husband, describing him as “brilliant and deeply kind”.
“I feel like he’s a real equal too,” the entrepreneur added. “And he pushes me in the best ways. I really like being married. It’s fun.”
The actor’s comments come just two months after she explained why her and Falchuk didn’t yet live together.
Speaking to The Sunday Times’ Style in June, Paltrow said the setup worked perfectly for the couple and was even a source of envy among her friends.
“Oh, all my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn’t change a thing,” she said.
